Thugs mobilised to attack parliamentarians
Male’, Maldives, 2nd February 2006, 1.00pm (olhuala.com) – A meeting of the MDP leadership last night decided to stage an attack on Special Majlis Members attending a meeting this afternoon. Money changed hands late yesterday evening as the MDP’s Kuda Henveriu gangs were mobilised.
SMS messages circulating among MDP members this morning have asked members to “bring as many people as possible by 4.30pm” to the Majlis Building. No mention has so far been made of bringigng children to a gathering which may see physical attacks on MPs arriving for a meeting of the Special Majlis Administrative Committee.
The Committee is scheduled to debate a petition signed by 61 DRP MPs. The MDP has committed to trying to block the debate by intimidation.
